Waste criminals have deposited a huge quantity of rubbish in a open space in Oxfordshire.
The "environmental catastrophe occurring in full view" is up to 150m (490ft) in length and 6m (20ft) high.
The massive pile has materialized in a plot of land adjacent to the River Cherwell near Kidlington.
Parliament representative brought up the problem in parliament, declaring it was "posing risk of an environmental disaster".
An environmental charity stated the unlawful waste site was created approximately a few weeks back by an criminal network.
"This represents an environmental catastrophe taking place in full view.
"Daily that passes increases the threat of poisonous run-off entering the aquatic network, polluting fauna and threatening the condition of the complete catchment.
"The Environment Agency must take action promptly, not in extended periods, which is their standard action timeframe."
A restriction order had been established by the Environment Agency.
It is hard to identify any specific pieces of garbage as it seems to have been pulverized with soil combined.
Some of the rubbish from the top of the mound has toppled and is now only five feet from the stream.
The River Cherwell is a feeder stream of the River Thames, which indicates it runs through Oxford before meeting the Thames.

The representative asked the authorities for assistance to remove the illegal tip before it triggered a inferno or was carried into the aquatic system.
Addressing MPs on this week, he stated: "Lawbreakers have discarded a mountain of illegal synthetic materials... weighing hundreds of tonnes, in my electoral area on a floodplain next to the River Cherwell.
"Water heights are growing and thermal imaging demonstrate that the garbage is also warming, raising the risk of blaze.
"The Environment Agency said it has limited resources for enforcement, that the anticipated cost of clearance is larger than the entire yearly budget of the regional government."
Government official commented the authorities had inherited a failing recycling sector that had caused an "epidemic of unauthorized waste disposal".
She informed MPs the agency had served a prohibition notice to halt further admission to the area.
In a declaration, the organization confirmed it was examining the situation and appealed for evidence.
It said: "We acknowledge the public's anger about situations like this, which is why we take action against those culpable for illegal dumping."
A recent investigation determined attempts to combat serious environmental offenses have been "critically overlooked" despite the issue developing into larger and more advanced.
The Environment and Climate Change Committee suggested an autonomous "comprehensive" examination into how "widespread" illegal dumping is dealt with.
